DESCRIPTION:
Background
Schaefer Ranch is an area of approximately 500 acres located at the westerly boundary of the
city limits north of the Interstate 580 freeway (I-580) and south of the unincorporated area of
Alameda County, near the intersection of Schaefer Ranch Road and the westerly extension of
Dublin Boulevard.
The Planned Development zoning for Schaefer Ranch established 4 neighborhoods which are
identified as neighborhoods A, B, C & D. Site Development Reviews for each neighborhood
have been approved by the Planning Commission with the exception of Area A which has been
totally redesigned and will come before the Planning Commission shortly for Site Design
Review. Neighborhood D is completely built out and occupied. Discovery Builders is in the
process of finishing Neighborhood B and their portion of Neighborhood C. Discover sold the
remaining portion of Neighborhood C to Standard Pacific Homes (lots 191-256). These are the
lots that are the subject of this Site Design Review and this Staff Report.
Neighborhood C, which lies north of Dublin Boulevard, was approved as Lots 186 thru 284 of
Tract 6765 (99 lots). Neighborhood C runs along Kelly Canyon Drive to its terminus at the
hillside west of Schaefer Heights Road and north of Reimers Way.
The project site generally is bounded by canyon/hillside open space to north and west, recreation
area in the form of a sports park to the southwest, and a vacant area approved through the
tentative tract map stage for Residential Low Density to the southeast. The land to the north would
remain as canyon/hillside preservation areas and open space corridor. Primary access to the site
is the Kelly Canyon spine which connects to Dublin Boulevard, Reimers Way, and Schaefer
Heights Road, and terminates within the project.
The project site currently is vacant and is characterized by gentle canyon terrain bounded by
steep hillside to the north and west. Since the approvals in 2006, the area approved as Vesting
Tentative Tract Map 6765 for the 500-acre Schaefer Ranch project has been substantially
graded, and the 117 single family homes approved for Neighborhood B are in the process of
being completed and all of the Neighborhood D Lots have been constructed and are occupied.
A portion of the Neighborhood C lots have been constructed by Discovery Builders, the master
developer of Schaefer Ranch and are adjacent to this proposed project. Those units are
currently occupied. In addition, major infrastructure is in place including: 1) the extension of
Dublin Boulevard; 2) the construction of Schaefer Ranch Road, water storage tank, and storm
water retention basins; 3) the completion of major water and sewer lines; and 4) the dedication
of East Bay Regional Park District trails and all of the streets and sidewalks. These 66 lots are
all graded and ready for development.
Standard Pacific Homes currently requests approval of a Site Development Review (SDR)
Permit for the Summit at Schaefer Ranch which is for 66 single-family detached homes with the
Resolution included as Attachment 1. The project proposes five different floor plans and four
architectural styles. Three of the four styles will be offered for each of the four plans.

The Summit at Schaefer
ANALYSIS:
The SDR addresses the site layout and architecture, as well as front yard landscaping,
hardscape, and details for walls and fencing. As with the neighborhoods approved and
constructed previously in Schaefer Ranch, The Summit is subject to the development
regulations and design standards approved and adopted with the Planned Development Zoning
Stage 2 Development Plan. None of the development standards (i.e., lot size, setbacks,
building height, parking, etc.) adopted as a part of the Stage 2 Planned Development Zoning are
proposed to be changed. The proposed project complies with all other adopted development
standards.
Site LayoubPlotting -The street and plotting pattern for the neighborhood were previously
approved by the Planning Commission with the adoption of Tract 6765.
The Summit at Schaefer Ranch is situated against the hillside and canyon. The homes within
this neighborhood face on to Kelly Canyon Drive/Place, which ends in a cul-de-sac, or onto one
of four other cul-de-sacs: 1) Kelly Canyon Court; 2) Schaefer Heights Court; 3) Bear Canyon
Court; and 4) Wild Horse Court. The homes within this project will not block views of the
protected primary ridgeline to the north.
The minimum lot size for Neighborhood C is 5,160 square feet with minimum dimensions of 35
feet by 100 feet. Site coverage is limited to a maximum of 45% for two-story floor plans,
3of11
including covered patio options. The homes planned for this neighborhood are similar in style
and size to other homes on similar size lots already constructed in Schaefer Ranch.
The lots range in size from a minimum of 5,866 square feet (Lot 247) to 11,667 square feet (Lot
233). The average lot size is 7,457 square feet (excluding Lot 233). The smallest lots are
located along the south side of Kelly Canyon Drive between Schaefer Heights Road and
Reimers Way. The largest lots are irregularly shaped and located against the canyon at the end
of the cul-de-sacs.
For Neighborhood C, rear yards are required to have a 5-foot minimum depth (including deck
and patio covers) with 10% of the lot area having a 15-ft minimum dimension (clear & level) at
any point. The rear yard setback may exceed these dimensions depending on the floor plan
type placed on each individual lot. Sheet C3 of the project plans (Attachment 2) provides
evidence of compliance with the usable rear yard standard requirements adopted with the
Development Regulations.
As with previously approved SDRs, any floor plan may be allowed on any lot when a floor plan
complies with coverage requirements and other development regulations. The plotting plan
shown on Sheet C4 of Attachment 2 is accompanied by a "fit list" or table (Sheet C5). The fit list
identifies which plans on each specific lot can comply with coverage (including outdoor rooms)
and usable rear yard area requirements.
The purpose of allowing this flexibility is to enhance sales and marketing while maintaining
sufficient diversity along the street scene. In addition to restrictions for specific clots, the
standard parameters for this plotting provision would be applied as follows:
- Any single floor plan may not exceed 40% of the subdivision.
- Individual floor plans may be placed next to each other. However, only two of the same
individual floor plans may be plotted next to each other without being interrupted by a
different floor plan.
- If two of the same individual floor plans are plotted next to each other, the same
individual floor plan may not be plotted across the street from the two.
- In no case will the same architectural elevation or color scheme be allowed next to or
across the street from each other, unless they are a different individual floor plan.
These standards have been included as Condition No. 26 (Attachment 1). As individual plot
plans are submitted for each phase of development, the Applicant shall provide a master
plotting plan for the previous phases to ensure compliance with these standards.
Floor Plans -Five floor plans are proposed for this project. Depending on the various build-out
options offered, the floor plans would range in size from 2,967 square feet for Plan 1, to as
much as 3,759 square feet for Plan 5. All floor plans are two stories with a recessed entry and a
covered front porch. All homes are designed with an open plan family room/kitchen
arrangement or "great room" living space with optional covered living space, or adjacent outdoor
room, which integrates indoor area with yard areas. On plans 3, 4 and 5, this option also can
include a second floor deck from the master bedroom.
All homes have a recessed two-car garage face with direct access from inside to the living
quarters. Except for Plan 1, all garages can accommodate three vehicles by providing a tandem
space. An interior transition area or "drop zone," as it currently is called, between the garage
and active areas within the residence responds to current homebuyer wishes for keeping
4 of 11
transportable or commonly used items at hand (such as coats, mail, and shopping bags) from
creating clutter in the living areas.
All plans can accommodate bedroom quarters and a full bathroom on the ground floor in
compliance with the Universal Design Ordinance (UDO) requirements for handicapped access.
In each case, these quarters are located at the front of the house adjacent to the entry or
garage. Each home is offered with an optional gas-burning fireplace in the great room area. All
kitchens have awalk-in pantry, and all master bedroom suites are equipped with dual basins in
the master bathroom and at least one walk-in closet. Plans 3 and 4 have ground floor laundry
rooms, while the laundry areas for Plans 1, 2, and 5 are located on the second floor.
Table 1 shows proposed square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, floor plans, and the
living space options (including the second unit option) for each of the proposed plans:

(3) The Plotting Plan allows any floor plan on any lot based on compliance with the Development Regulations and
limitations to preserve diversity of plans among the project.
~4~ Tandem space(s)
Plan 1 -Plan 1 is 2,967 square feet and offers a front den or bedroom with on-suite bathroom
on the ground floor. An optional bedroom on the second floor bedrooms is available by build out
of loft space. An oversized 2-car garage creates options for an interior workshop and home
management center in conjunction with the drop zone. The master bedroom has a large walk-in
closet. (See Attachment 2, Sheet A1.0)
Plan 2 - At 3,163 square feet, Plan 2 is designed specifically for corner lots. The side entry
creates variation on the street scene and provides the wrap-around architecture preferred for
prime corner lots. The ground floor interior is highlighted by a volume entry open to the second
floor above and a large great room. Ground floor flex space between the entry and great room
may be used as a formal dining area separated from the kitchen by a butler's pantry, and a full
5 of 11
bathroom can be built as an option to a powder room adjacent to the ground floor den or
optional bedroom. Loft space on the second floor may be built out as an additional bedroom,
and the master bedroom has his-and-hers walk-in closets. (See Attachment 2, Sheet A2.0)
Plan 3 -Plan 3 is 3,571 square feet with a central volume entry open to the second floor above,
and ground floor flex space open to the great room may be used as a formal dining area. The
ground floor bedroom is equipped with an on-suite bathroom, and the second floor has four
bedrooms plus loft space. The master bedroom has three walk-in closets. In addition to the
drop zone and ground floor laundry room, space within the great room near the kitchen the
maybe built out as a home management center with a good view of the rear yard and the living
spaces. The 3-car garage can accommodate a small workshop area. (See Attachment 2,
Sheet A3.0)
Plan 4 -Plan 4 utilizes the layout of Plan 3 but can accommodate separate quarters referred to
as a casita that may be used as a second unit "granny flat" in place of the ground floor bedroom,
on-suite bathroom and powder room in Plan 3. The home and casita combined are 3,646
square feet. As with Plan 3, build-out options include an expanded home management center
on the ground floor in a designated area of the great room, and the 3-car garage can
accommodate a workshop area slightly larger than Plan 3. The casita is approximately 348
square feet arranged as studio quarters with a small kitchen, full bathroom, and walk-in closet.
An exterior sideyard door provides direct access outdoors and/or an interior door off of the entry
to the home may be installed or eliminated depending on the intended use of this space. To
accommodate the full bathroom and kitchen area in the casita, the powder room near the entry
as shown on Plan 3 would be relocated to the garage side of the ground floor and the garage
facade would extend closer to the street than the facade of the casita. Use of the casita in Plan
4 as a second unit would serve as part of compliance with the affordable housing requirement in
the City's Inclusionary Ordinance. (See Attachment 2, Sheet A4.0)
Plan 5 -Plan 5 is the largest at 3,759 square feet and offers a front sitting porch on two of three
elevations, a dedicated home office on the first floor, and a Great Room that has volume ceiling
height accentuated by transom windows. Ground floor flex space between the entry and kitchen
may be used as a formal dining area separated by awalk-through pantry. The second floor has
four bedrooms and a loft with optional build out of a private bathroom for one of the secondary
bedrooms. The ground floor bedroom at the front of the home has an on-suite bathroom, and
the ground floor quarters behind the garage and adjacent to the optional outdoor room may be
used as an office. (See Attachment 2, Sheet A5.0)
Architecture -The SDR for The Summit at Schaefer Ranch offers four architectural styles with
three styles available for each of the five floor plans. The architectural theme is consistent with
the adopted Architectural Design Standards and compatible with the homes in Schaefer Ranch,
both existing and proposed. The Architectural Design Standards adopted with PA 06-031
established six architectural styles: a) California Ranch; b) Monterey; c) Early Californian; d)
English Country; e) Craftsman; and f) American Farmhouse. The proposed plan utilizes four of
the approved styles:
(A) Early Californian, (B) Craftsman, (C) English Country, and (D) Farmhouse
The homes are designed with themed architectural elements integrated into the front facades
and enhanced corner/side/rear elevations. All five plans present a strong one-story element to
the street and recessed second story elements to reduce mass and enhance pedestrian scale.
The sideyard and rear walls of ground and second levels are offset to reduce building mass
6 of 11
between units and create a variation in building planes. Also, the garage facades have been
de-emphasized with multi-plane front elevation setbacks and recessed doors.
Utilizing high quality, sustainable materials, the homes offer varying wall textures, roof pitches,
and roof types to achieve a unique character. Each home plan is designed with specific
characteristics that enhance the lifestyle, both indoors and out. Consistent among the five plans
are a front window on each ground floor and second floor in a similar location. These
architectural elements are used to feature the characteristics typical to the style applied.
Structurally the main ridge beam of all plans runs from side to side.
The use of multiple styles is intended to enhance the diversity of the street scene with varied
roof forms, pitches, and overhangs; window shapes and mullion variations; shutter
configurations; trim profiles; gable end treatments; exterior materials; and style-specific details.
All recessed garage doors are consistent with the style and feature a top row of window panes.
The (D) Farmhouse style is used only for Plans 3 and 4.
In order to provide wide diversity to the exterior elevations and architectural styles, four color
and materials palettes are available each for the (A) Early California and (D) Farmhouse styles,
and three color and materials palettes are available each for the (B) Craftsman and (C) English
County styles. Among the four styles, exterior elevations of all styles primarily are stucco or
plaster finish with accents in manufactured stone elements on the Craftsman and brick veneer
accents on the English Country styles. Roof materials consist of concrete S-tiles for the (A)
Early California style and flat concrete tiles for the remaining three styles. (See Attachment 2,
Sheets A0.8 and A0.9)
The following provides an abbreviated description of each approved architectural style exteriors
proposed for this project:
- (A) Early California -The Early California is the authentic stucco facade with terra cotta
colored S-tile roofing, Roofs pitched at 4:12 are formed by a large central gable with
gable projections on Plans 1 and 5 and hip roof with gable projections on Plans 2, 3, and
4. Plans 2 and 5 feature a shaped eave end. Gable end embellishments include clay
outlookers on the front elevation and louvered vents on secondary sides. Windows are
recessed with heavy sills and lintels and are framed by classic gate-style shutters;
mullions are square or rectangular in symmetrical patterns. Limited wrought iron and
carriage style lanterns serve as functional and decorative elements. Entries emphasize
arched porch covers or arched front window with Plan 1 featuring a shaped fin wall and
stucco box bay base.
- (B) Craftsman -The Craftsman style roof is pitched at 4:12 with classic gable forms,
gable projections, deeper overhangs, exposed ridge beam ends and column supports.
Outstanding elements are the exterior materials including cementitious lap siding,
shingles, and board and batten in various combinations including accents to all gable
ends. The Craftsman style is the only one of the four to use manufactured stone on front
elevation walls, wrapped as need to complete the image and as a ground floor base with
concrete cap or as column bases for boxed or tapered column porch supports. Windows
are framed with heavy sills and occasionally include a wooden potshelf supported by
wooden corbels. Mullion patterns are typical to the Craftsman style with smaller lights
along the top or sides of the panes.
- (C) English Country -The English Country uses hip roof forms on Plans 1 and 2, an
abbreviated hip on Plans 3 and 4, and a gable form on Plan 5. Gable projections on all
7 of 11
Plans are more steeply pitched that the main roof structure. Concrete roof tiles are
variegated in color and tone. The English Country style uses the keyhole form as the
typical gable end embellishment on Plans 1 through 4 and board and batten on Plan 5.
Brick veneer accents on the exterior identify this style, including abrick-bordered keyhole
on Plan 3. All plans show an arched front porch, and windows are framed by heavy
headers and rustic shutters. Window mullions are vertically rectangular and symmetrical.
- (D) Farmhouse -The Farmhouse is similar materials to Craftsman, using a classic gable
roof form, however, with shorter overhangs and a steeper roof pitch on gable projections.
This style is used only on Plans 3 and 4. The Farmhouse style also utilizes similar siding
as Craftsman, in various combinations such as shingles and lapboard on walls and
board-and-batten on gable ends. Windows are framed with heavy sills and headers, and
accented with louvered shutters. Mullions are square and symmetrical.

Parking - In accordance with the development standards, each of the 66 single-family homes is
provided, at a minimum, with atwo-car garage resulting in compliance with the minimum
requirement of 132 covered spaces. In addition, all plans except Plan 1 include more than two
spaces in the form of a tandem space in the garage. For each unit, one guest space is required
to be available and is proposed to be provided curbside within the public right-of-way. Based on
this standard, a minimum of 66 curbside spaces would be needed.
The parking plan, shown on Sheet C8 of Attachment 2, identifies potential curbside parking in
the public right-of-way available for guests, except where marked for traffic safety and access by
emergency vehicles. With the plan showing 114 curbside spaces, this project would have an
excess of 48 guest parking spaces. When a second unit is constructed, only one additional
parking space per unit would be required, but no additional guest spaces. Parking for second
units can be accommodated on-site in the driveway, or curbside on the street in one of the 48
extra or uncommitted curbside guest parking spaces.
Landscaping/Fence Plan -The Landscaping Plan in the current submittal generally is
consistent with the plans approved with previous SDRs for neighborhoods within Schaefer
Ranch. (See Attachment 2, Sheets L-1 through L-3)
As with the SDRs approved previously, the landscaping is proposed with trees lining the
neighborhood streets, and landscaped strips. There are no parkways in Schaefer Ranch as
there are in other parts of Dublin. All project streets and paths paralleling the streets will be
shaded and enhanced by trees and plantings. Hardscape elements along with landscaping will
be used to create neighborhood entries and identity.
The landscape plans in the current submittal have been prepared to reflect the building footprint
of each floor plan. Atypical landscape/site plan is provided for both interior and corner lots for
each of the five floor plans. Since the size of the lots and homes are indicative of larger
8of11
traditional homes, the intent of the front yard landscape design will be to provide home owners
with a usable front yard equipped with lawn, water efficient plants, and trees. The landscaping
for the parkways and the individual lots will be required to conform to the City Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance (WELO).
The street landscaping unifies the neighborhood and integrates it with the adjacent
neighborhoods within Schaefer Ranch. The walls and fence designs proposed for this project
are consistent with the design and hierarchy of walls and fences previously approved for
adjacent neighborhoods in Schaefer Ranch through the adopted architectural design standards,
the SDR approved with PA 06-031, and the Stage 2 Development Plan.
As with the other neighborhoods in Schaefer Ranch, the fence plan takes into consideration
traditional wood fencing, lattice-top fences, wire view fencing, tubular metal fencing, and
retaining walls of an appropriate height where necessary and as the interface between adjacent
properties on the upslope, the down slopes, and/or abutting public right-of-way. Since The
Summit at Schaefer Ranch is not adjacent to any of the primary collector streets, none of the
right-of-way within this neighborhood is bounded by a "community theme wall."
Affordable Housing//nclusionary Zoning -The proposed project is subject to an Affordable
Housing Agreement with the master developer, Discovery Builders. Compliance with the
requirement to provide Below Market Rate (BMR) or affordable housing units will be satisfied by
a minimum of seven second units in the form of one-bedroom casitas or "granny flats" built with
Plan 4. The Development Plan (Attachment 2, Sheet C2) shows the following six lots plotted for
Plan 4: Lots 195, 218, 223, 230, 239, and 251. A seventh lot is required which will be
determined during the plot plan phase of the project subject to City approval. Based on the "fit
list" and plotting plan, Plan 4 may be constructed on any of 47 lots within the parameters stated
above. The requirement for compliance with Inclusionary Ordinance is provided as Condition
No. 29 of Attachment 1.
Public Art Compliance - In accordance with "Chapter 8.58 Public Art Program" of the City of
Dublin Zoning Ordinance the applicant is required to provide a Public Art Compliance report
which they have done as a part of the application. The applicant has chosen to provide an in-
lieu fee instead of actual public art. An appropriate Condition of Approval has been applied to
this project. (See Condition No. 27, Attachment 1).
CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, SPECIFIC PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE:
Under the General Plan, the area within the proposed project is designated "Residential:
Single-Family." The site is zoned "PD-Residential Single-Family." PA 06-031 approved in 2006
established the Stage 2 Planned Development Zoning and Development Standards. The
current SDR request would be consistent with the General Plan land use designation and
Planned Development Zoning determined at that time when the project was initially approved.
The proposed project has been reviewed for conformance with the Community Design and
Sustainability Element of the General Plan. The project itself is a portion of a larger project
already approved that has implemented pathways, gathering spaces, open spaces, and a
village concept. Standard Pacific Homes intends to exceed the City of Dublin Green Building
Ordinance (See Attachment 3) and will exceed the 50 point threshold in the City's program. In
general, Standard Pacific Homes is furthering the goals of the Community Design and
Sustainability Element of the General Plan by providing a high quality of life and preserving
resources and opportunities for future generations.

REVIEW BY APPLICABLE DEPARTMENT AND AGENCIES:
The Building Division, Fire Prevention Bureau, Public Works Department, Dublin Police Services
and Dublin San Ramon Services District reviewed the project and provided Conditions of
Approval where appropriate to ensure that the Project is established in compliance with all local
Ordinances and Regulations. Conditions of Approval from these departments and agencies
have been included in the attached Resolution (Attachment 1).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Schaefer Ranch General Plan Amendment and
Planned Development District Overlay zone (SCH #95033070) was certified by the City Council
on July 9, 1996 by Resolution 76-96. The City Council also adopted Findings, a Statement of
Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring Program with this Resolution. For the
most recent version of the plan (PA 08-005), the City Council approved an Addendum to the EIR
(Resolution 203-08) based on the description, determination, and understanding that the total
number of units is within the scope of the .EIR initially prepared and certified, and that all
potentially significant effects have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to
applicable standards or have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR.
The proposed SDR would not require any further environmental review.
PUBLIC NOTICING:
In accordance with State law, a public notice was mailed to all property owners and occupants
within 300 feet of the proposed project to advertise the project and the upcoming public hearing.
A public notice also was published in the Valley Times and posted at several locations
throughout the City. A copy of this Staff Report has been provided to the Applicant.
